Mattei Plan: Italy and the EU host a high-level technical joint event to strengthen cooperation with Africa
Today, Italy and the European Union hosted a joint event to reinforce collaboration with Africa.
The event served as a platform to outline and further coordinate efforts in implementing Italy’s Mattei Plan for Africa and the EU’s Global Gateway (GG) initiative —two complementary strategies designed to foster tailored partnerships that address the specific needs of African nations.
By actively engaging the private sector, both strategies aim to drive sustainable investments and leverage cutting-edge expertise while aligning with Italy and the EU’s shared priorities to achieve economic security jointly with the African continent.
The event brought together over 400 participants, including senior officials from the Italian government, the EU, African nations, the United States, private sector leaders, and representatives from international organizations. Discussions focused on key sectors where the Mattei Plan and Global Gateway team up, such as energy, physical and digital infrastructure, and the coffee supply chain.
